Pisa

24/03/2021– Poem a Day Compilation



I’d like to be like the tower

That makes its home in Pisa

Who’s slant is so iconic

And something of a teaser



I’d be the centre of attention

And beloved around the globe

Models posed in front of me

And sometimes they may disrobe



My outlook on life would be tilted

To a most precocious angle

Rapunzel’s hair would hang strangely

And get in such a tangle



Those who climbed my stairs each day

Would develop an odd kind of gait

One leg longer small price to pay

For their curiosity to sate



But here I am, mere mortal

Of no significance or worth

Compared with the leaning tower

Who’s stood since long before my birth
